The Pink Palace Another Los Angeles home with a rich history: once owned by singer Rudy Vallee, then by actress Jayne Mansfield, later by singer Engelbert Humperdinck, the home was known for its heart-shaped swimming pool and vibrant pink paint job. In January 1990, Ruth Ryon reported that Humperdinck had listed the Holmby Hills home at $8 million: "The eight-bedroom, nine-bath mansion on 1.25 acres became known as the 'Pink Palace' after Mansfield, a platinum-blond actress, painted it her trademark color in the '60s."
